Első Emelet

The Első Emelet (Hungarian: "First Floor") were a Hungarian pop band formed in Budapest in 1982 by former members of two progressive rock bands: Solaris and Lobogó. Their music video for "Állj, Vagy Lövök!" ("Stop or I'll Shoot!") appeared as "Baby, Baby" by "First Floor" in the music video for "Money for Nothing" by British rock band Dire Straits.[1]
